A vulnerability in the key-based SSH authentication feature of Cisco StarOS Software could allow an authenticated, remote malicious user to elevate privileges on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied credentials. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a valid low-privileged SSH key to an affected device from a host that has an IP address that is configured as the source for a high-privileged user account. A successful exploit could allow the malicious user to log in to the affected device through SSH as a high-privileged user. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.
